Manuscripts will be screened by the editor for appropriateness and then sent to at least two reviewers for detailed assessment. Empirical studies using all types of qualitative and quantitative methods are welcome. The primary criteria will be soundness of methodological approach and grounding in leadership theories. Non-traditional analytic approaches are welcome with appropriate explanation. Conceptual contributions that extend existing concepts and theories of leadership and empirical studies that refine understanding of leadership antecedents, outcomes, and processes are particularly welcome. Each issue will contain one unusual and potentially controversial article drawn from those submitted.
